What do you think of the new Funeral for a Friend CD? I noticed in the old thread that you bought it. I also bought it and although I think it is a solid group of songs it is severely lacking the awesomeness of the first CD (and the EPs). There's practically no "screaming" (not that you need that to make a good CD or anything, it was just their style) on the new one and it leans way more to the pop side if things not that that's bad or anything but it was just unexpected. There also aren't as many catchy guitar riffs/hooks. I don't know I'm sure it will grow on me but so far there's maybe only one or two songs on the new one that I think are better than the worst song on the last one. What do you think?

It's ok. Honestly I haven't listened to it enough to really offer a well-formed opinion, but my first impression was that it wasn't as good as their other stuff.

Can you recommend any similar type bands?

Right now I'm into From Autumn To Ashes, Finch, Emery, A Static Lullaby, Recover, Deftones, Alexisonfire, System of a Down, etc. among hundreds of others but I guess I'm looking for some "screamo" music to work out to. Thanks!
